The Silver Spoon

(damn, did those cookies look good or what?)

I don't tend to buy too many cookbooks -- I try to cook out of what I have, and only buy new ones when it really promises to teach me something new. But I had to take notice when a bunch of my colleagues in the WELL's cooking conference started talking about the recipes they had cooked out of The Silver Spoon.

Apparently the Silver Spoon is "the Joy of Cooking of Italy", the standard cookbook everyone has, published there since the 1950's but only published in English last year. It's a massive book, over 1200 pages, and full of home-style recipes that all sound great.

So I finally broke down and bought a copy, and cooked out of it for the first time last night: Stuffed savoy cabbage with tomato sauce. Man, was this good -- savoy cabbage leaves blanched and refreshed, and filled with a mixture of ricotta, egg, and finely chopped blanched chard.

Highly recommended.
